The Lore of Nosgoth

This will end up as part of the lore page of the website and still needs to be finessed, but since so many of you have questions I thought it best to share it now.

Nosgoth: world of Vampires and Humans.

It has been millennia of conflict and hatred since the Vampire race was cursed by the Hylden and Humanity began their war to wipe them out. As Humans fought to kill Vampires and Vampires to enslave Humanity, it took the iron will of one Vampire, Kain, to bring the world together, subjugated under his rule. Those Humans not corralled as playthings, servants and fodder for the Vampires have been pushed out to the edges of the world, carving out an existence in the mountains and deep forests of Nosgoth, or exiled across the Great Southern Sea to the Hinterlands beyond.

Then, not long after Kain cast Raziel into the Abyss, Kain disappeared. Gone, in search of a way to restore Nosgoth to the world it was before, Kain left the land and his court in the hands of his Lieutenants. Riven by jealousy and conflicts, it was not long before the Vampire Clans began fighting amongst themselves.

With the Vampires focused on their internal squabbles, Nosgoth’s Human population seized the chance to grow stronger. Cities were rebuilt, skills relearned and Humanity’s power recovered to the point where they could launch a devastating attack on their Vampire masters. This attack reunited the warring Vampire Clans in the face of a common enemy. Now, each race is pitted against the other.

This is a war for Nosgoth, this is a war for the survival of each race.
